The moment RIIZE came out, crowds of fans surrounded them, causing the youngest member Anton to appear scared and even on the brink of tears.
Photos and videos of the scene show Anton completely swarmed by fans, while security personnels tried to control the crowd.
A manager later had to closely guide Anton by linking arms with him. RIIZE’s leader Sungchan also displayed signs of exhaustion.
The situation of RIIZE’s arrival was likely exacerbated by the fact that ZEROBASEONE member Ricky was at the airport simultaneously. Ricky also faced a chaotic situation due to the increased number of fans.
RIIZE fans were heartbroken to witness Anton visibly shaken by the mobbing incident. They are once again asking SM Entertainment to prepare better security for RIIZE at the airport.
